""Narrator Emily Woo Zeller shines as sixteen-year-old Sana... Zeller excels at embodying the teen angst and immigrant family drama at the center of Sana's life...Shifting between the accents of Sana's friends and even Japanese phrases from her mom with ease, Zeller showcases each character through Sana's eyes in this coming-of-age novel."" -- ""AudioFile"" ""Realistically celebrates a teen's discovery of trust in herself and in others."" -- ""School Library Journal"" ""Sana is a fully realized protagonist with faults and unacknowledged privilege alongside her nuanced experience of identity and 'model minority' racism. Sugiura thoughtfully explores intersecting issues of race, immigrant-family relationships, queer romance, and, less explicitly, class dynamics without implying the significance of one over the others. Well-paced, brimming with drama, and utterly vital."" -- ""Kirkus Reviews (starred review)""
